Abstract
A mathematical model is constructed to investigate the mixed convective heat and mass transfer effects on peristaltic flow of magnetohydrodynamic pseudoplastic fluid in a symmetric channel. An analysis has been carried out to examine the impact of an inclined magnetic field and chemical reaction in presence of heat sink/source. Mechanics of flow and heat/mass transfer described in terms of continuity, linear momentum, energy and concentration equations are predicted by using long wavelength and low Reynolds number. Expressions for stream function, temperature, concentration and pressure gradient are derived. Numerical simulation is performed for the rise in pressure per wave length. Effects of several physical parameters on the flow quantities are analyzed.
